Abstract:
Vitamin D–dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is a rare genetic disease associated with loss-of-function variations in the gene encoding the vitamin D–activating enzyme 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1). Phenotype-genotype correlation is unclear. Long-term outcome data are lacking. The objective of this study was to describe characteristics and outcomes to search for a phenotype-genotype correlation. Methods We retrospectively collected clinical data, genetic features, and outcomes from 24 genetically confirmed cases from 10 French centers; results are presented as median (min–max). Results Clinical symptoms at diagnosis (age, 1.5 [0.5-8.7] years) were mainly bone and neurological abnormalities, and laboratory data showed hypocalcemia (1.97 [1.40-2.40] mmol/L), hypophosphatemia (−3.4 [−13.4 to (−)0.2] SD score for age), low 25OHD and low 1,25(OH)2D3, secondary hyperparathyroidism with PTH at 6.6 (1.3-13.7) times the upper limit for normal (ULN; PTH expressed as ULN to homogenize data presentation), and increased alkaline phosphatase (1968 [521-7000] IU/L). Bone radiographs were abnormal in 83% of patients. We identified 17 variations (11 missense, 3 frameshift, 2 truncating, and 1 acceptor splice site variations) in 19 families (homozygous state in 58% [11/19]). The partial loss-of-function variation p.(Ala129Thr) was associated with a milder phenotype: older age at diagnosis, higher serum calcium (2.26 vs 1.85 mmol/L), lower PTH (4.7 vs 7.5 ULN), and lower alkaline phosphatase (759 vs 2082 IU/L). Patients were treated with alfacalcidol. Clinical (skeletal, neurological), biochemical, and radiological outcomes were satisfactory, and complications occurred if there was bad adherence. Conclusion Overall, our findings highlight good outcomes under substitutive treatment and the need of a closer follow-up of eyes, teeth, kidneys, and blood pressure in VDDR1A.
